Ingredients
4 servings
- potatoes — 1 lb (peeled and cubed)
- unsalted butter — 1 cup (room temperature)
- Fresh parsley — 2 tbsp (finely chopped)
- Salt to taste — 0.50 cup
- shelled sunflower seeds — 0.50 cup (partially ground)
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot of water until fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and let them sit for 2 minutes to release excess moisture.
- Transfer the potatoes to a bowl and mash until smooth.
- Mix in the butter, parsley, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Combine the rice flour and sunflower seeds. Spread the mixture on a clean surface. Divide the potatoes into 6 portions, flatten each into a ½-inch-thick square, and coat both sides with the seed mixture.
- Heat ghee or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Drain briefly on paper towels and serve hot.
